Depending on where you go there may be other reasonably priced alternatives to your standard Youth Hostelling International (YHA) dormitory-style accommodation. Some places may have small lots of pensions or guest houses, which sometimes are near to the price of a dorm bed at the YHA. I'll never forget my first YHA experience, it was the City of London YHA near St. Paul's Cathedral. It was July 1995 and the cost for a bed in a room of 8 was £19.10. The exchange rate at the time was $2.40 to the pound. $45 for a bunk bed and a continental breakfast? London B&Bs could be had for £20!

There are alternatives and it might be worth while looking into them.

Good luck.
